Large man-eating plant MOC

[Lego Otaku]

While I was figuring my real MOC, I noticed there hadn't been any good looking man eating plant recently. I tried Google search but those I found were either too tall (like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horror), too much like dragon's head and neck, or similar to Super Mario Bros game. I wanted one that lies flat while waiting for a victim.

So I decided to try one in LDD to get an idea how many pieces and how difficult to build one. All the pieces and color can be bought from BL except for 3x2 wedge plate, they are not available in dark green. Regular green is available but I forgot to change that in LDD.

I choose dark green and dark red because it's similar to a common variety of venus fly trap, and added in yellow stripes for color.

Missing are 2 long green tentacles (normally from Bionicle series, available in green from new Atlantis set) and maybe some fine tuning with tentacle placement and such. Maybe add a bait in the middle?

LDD file: for your pleasure

Use em in fantasy, sci-fi, adventure, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, etc.

Dunno if someone designed one better or not but it's a good plant for eating anything that wanders too close.
